Curling a sport? That's like saying Bowling is a sport.
2/19/2010 8:48:47 PM
Curling is the worst "sport" ever
2/19/2010 8:49:32 PM
Curling is the best sport played on ice by attractive women ever.
2/19/2010 8:52:02 PM
I would not consider anything that a woman 5 months pregnant in while in the olympics a sport.

Except for Ice Fuckin'[Edited on February 19, 2010 at 8:54 PM. Reason : well I didn't see sawahash's post]
2/19/2010 8:53:55 PM
Ice Fuckin' hasn't been an Olympic sport since the great popsicle incident of 1978.

Well let me rephrase that then. Skeleton is a sport that you would have to not give a shit about your pregnancy to participate in. So something that a woman who is 5 months pregnant and doesn't have much risk of losing her pregnancy due to an injury.
2/19/2010 9:56:52 PM
You can lose your pregnancy while you're asleep.
2/19/2010 9:58:23 PM
I heard you can lose your pregnancy by sucking too many cocks
2/19/2010 9:59:41 PM
if only that were true
2/19/2010 10:16:31 PM
i'll be burnsyou be allen
2/19/2010 10:17:37 PM
Okay yes you can lose your pregnancy sleeping. BUT riding on a sled on your stomach while youre preggers is just stupid.
2/19/2010 10:17:48 PM
If you're pregnant, I'm willing to help you abort via BJ. I'll volunteer to be guy #1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 37.
2/19/2010 10:18:36 PM

its just a bunch of games. hockey is the only event where you actually compete against your opponent. The rest you are compteting against the course.
2/20/2010 12:56:13 AM
^ except curlingand nordic combinedand biathlon pursuitand short trackand snowboard cross

Yeah guys, the Olympics Games are just a bunch of games. Geez!
2/20/2010 3:43:36 AM
curling is some bs ice billiards. Short track is a legit sport but you are racing against time to have the best time. interrupting your opponent gets you dqed. the other ones you listed don't require athleticism. people competing with babies in their gut torn acls takes away all credibility.
2/20/2010 1:59:22 PM
you're right, there's no athleticism involved in skiing non-stop for six miles with a pack of eight other guys pushing you and another pack chasing you
2/20/2010 2:01:57 PM
don't watch any of it
2/20/2010 2:04:26 PM
skiing is just keeping your balance while going incredibly fast. anybody can go fast but these people have guts and coordination to keep their form while going fast. sure it takes ENORMOUS skill for all these events.guts? ya athleticism? not so muchthese games were invented by mountain people to have thier own olympic events because they aren't very athletic.
2/20/2010 2:41:06 PM
mountain people have the highland games, not the winter olympics.

i too like these two sports but cannot support the claim in the thread title. i have seen several other sports that were in fact part of the olympics
2/20/2010 7:42:14 PM
All of the sports in the winter games require lots of extremely specialized equpiment. Some of the events mirror with the winter x games and the athletes use potential energy not their own. When you look at the summer games you have little, no, or very simple equipment and competitors use thier own energy.Lets be real. Areas on earth where you can ski are very limited and how many people really have access to a bobsled and track on a daily basis? Probably not even a thousand. Look how few countries participate.Then look at the summer olympics. Anyone can run, jump, or fight. If the summer olympics were equivalent to the winter olympics they would only have floor competition, hockey, archery, cycling, skateboarding and shuffle board.
2/20/2010 8:18:09 PM
don't tell tonya harding this. she'll fuck your shit up!!
2/20/2010 8:20:09 PM
I do wish there were more events that actually had a form of scoring that wasn't done by judges. Are there any besides curling and hockey that aren't races and aren't subjective?
2/20/2010 8:34:51 PM
2/20/2010 8:44:34 PM
op is correct
